Noooooo-la: Aaron Nola’s struggles continue as Phillies postseason approaches Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

Aaron Nola gave up five runs in the blink of an eye in Wednesday night’s loss to the Brewers in Milwaukee.

He has a 6.78 ERA in 69 innings this season. It’s the sixth-highest ERA by any Philadelphia Phillies starter (minimum 65 innings) since earned runs became an official National League statistic in 1912. It’s not good. It’s especially concerning with Zack Wheeler missing the rest of the season, and the Phillies having no clear alternative to be a right-hander in the postseason rotation.

We break down Nola’s struggles and more.

Test Brewing: Phillies bounce back vs. Braves, but Brewers are next Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

It was doom and gloom in Philadelphia on Thursday, following a three-game sweep to the Mets. But the Phillies just won three of four vs. Atlanta, while the Mets spit the bit against the Marlins.

The Phillies head into Labor Day with a six-game lead over New York in the NL East.

We discuss the Philadelphia Phillies big bounce back against the Braves, plus a few roster transactions that might have postseason-roster ramifications in Walker Buehler, Tim Mayza, Garrett Stubbs and more. We also explain why Nick Castellanos being subbed for defense in right field is a no-brainer, and why it wasn’t a sign of disrespect that Rob Thomson didn’t personally tell Castellanos that he was being removed for defense.

It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza! Manco’s is the Best of the Best, and every week throughout the season we pick our best Phillies players, performances and moments of the week.

Show notes

Emergency Schwarbcast!

Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber tied a Major League Baseball record with four home runs in Thursday night’s victory over the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park.

We break down Schwarber’s night, what it meant to the team and what it might mean for his NL MVP chances.

Should Schwarber win the NL MVP Award? We think so.

New Yuck City: Mets sweep Phillies, NL East race tightens Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

What a brutal, brutal series for the Phillies.

They carried momentum and a seven-game lead in the NL East into Citi Field this week. But the Mets swept the Phils to not only tighten the division race, but they raised questions about the Phils’ ability to beat New York in the postseason.

Because these teams could meet again in October.

We break down everything that happened in this three-game shellacking.

Beat the Mets: Rotation steps up as Phillies open series in New York Aug 25, 2025

Show notes

It’s official: Zack Wheeler will miss the rest of the 2025 season.

It wasn’t a surprise, so it was encouraging to see two solid performances this weekend from Aaron Nola and Ranger Suárez in a series win against the Washington Nationals. Philadelphia will need its healthy starters to step up with Wheeler sidelined. Suárez is one of the best pitchers in baseball when he is on. Nola is perhaps the Phillies’ best option for a right-handed starter in the postseason.

It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza! Manco’s is the Best of the Best, and every week throughout the season we pick our best Phillies players, performances and moments of the week. J.T. Realmuto? Bryson Stott? Suárez?

We preview a big three-game series beginning Monday night against the Mets at Citi Field!

Power Sweep: Phillies dismantle Seattle in dominant series Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

You won’t see many series better than this.

The Phillies throttled the Mariners in every facet this week at Citizens Bank Park. They outscored them, 29-13. They outhit them, 48-21. Their starting pitchers struck out more batters (34) than any previous three-game series in franchise history. The pitching staff’s 46 strikeouts overall were the most in franchise history in a three-game series.

We talk about the offense, including Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto and Max Kepler. We talk about the rotation’s job following the Zack Wheeler news.

Serious Concerns: Zack Wheeler is sidelined indefinitely with a blood clot Aug 17, 2025

Show notes

Everybody understands Zack Wheeler’s importance to the Phillies.

He is one of the best pitchers in baseball, a perennial NL Cy Young candidate and, statistically, one of the best pitchers in postseason history. It was a shock on Saturday night to learn that Wheeler has been sidelined indefinitely because of a blood clot near his right shoulder. This is a health issue immensely more important than baseball, but it is a tremendous loss to the team.

We discuss Wheeler’s health, and what it might mean for the Phillies moving forward. We also discuss Alec Bohm’s return to the lineup, Nick Castellanos’ big day and a bizarre “controversy” surrounding Jhoan Duran’s appearance in a non-save situation on Friday.
